Scented candles as good as Jo Malone but less expensive?

[pinkbraces]

I love the smell of Jo Malone candles, especially the pomegranate one but they are too expensive to be anything more than a luxury. Ive tried lots of others but they either dont have any scent or the scent doesnt last.

Does anyone know of a good alternative.

Parks candles
Max benjamin candles
Just lovely.

Fat Candles all the way

Another candle addict here!

Parks candles are lovely. Also like yankee candles. Is it really that easy to make your own?

[Financeprincess]

I can't bring myself to pay so much for Jo Malone and Diptyque candles. I just can't! Even though they are lovely.

I really recommend M&S candles. They smell expensive.

Also just discovered Sanderson Primavera candles. They aren't cheap, but they are a lot less than Jo Malone. Lovely, chic smells in gorgeous packaging, printed with vintage Sanderson wallpaper designs.

Some White Company ones are nice .

I like Voluspa candles, especially the one called Branche Vermeil. It's like a lighter, less obnoxious version of Diptyque's wood fire candle.

Parks, often in tk maxx, are pretty good and their wild fig one stands up against the Jo Malone counterpart. Very cheap too. I think dedenhhams stock them too.

I'm with the posters who've suggested TK Maxx. I've just bought two more This Works candles - lovely Christmassy ones. They are £15, normally retail at £25. Space NK sells This Works so they are good stuff. I prefer them to Jo Malone although not to Dyptique!

TK Maxx has quite a good range at this time of year but you do need to sniff your way through the offerings (that sounds a bit odd...) as the quality varies hugely. They had a Miller Harris one and I was sorely tempted but it was still £30 and that's too much for me.

Oh dear... just had a look at the Candlewick Greens website and I know what I'm going to be splashing out on this Christmas! Excellent prices & range of scents, am definitely going to be ordering some of those and giving them a try.

[LittleMissRed]

I love Yankee Candles too, and agree that TK Maxx is great, especially at this time of year.
I also agree with one of the first posters that Homebase candles are really nice, esp the christmassy smelling ones.

[AwkwardSquad]

Ah now I've seen lots of Bahoma at TK Maxx! May give them a try.

Also try space nk sale, I got diptyque half price in the summer

[macskater]

I got lovely ones in Muji. Shops are in London but they are online too.

[bluebump]

These are lovely candles and scent a room really well. There are too many to choose from but i'm slowly working my way through them!

[marleebrodie]

Arran aromatics....so good.

[cloggal]

Oh actually, agree completely with marleebrodie, Arran Aromatics are lush.

For all Glasgow MNers, there's an outlet shop in St Enoch Centre, often half the price of the main Princes Square shop... Dangerous!

[MrsAlwaysRight]

I usually use NEOM candles but have just had look at the Arran Aromatic website and might order some to try as they have 30% off some of their pillar candles.

[Jemimapuddleduk]

Woodwick are gorgeous and Melt too. The Melt ones are a bit more subtle but last for ages and the scents are amazing!

[hollyisalovelyname]

Try Parks of London. Divine candles- particularly Original. Often on Brand Alley sales or Secretsales at great value.
The Hyacinth smells of real hyacinths!!

[Darna]

Milana candles are lovely, just as good as Jo Malone but cheaper and made with soy

[SteppedOnaFrog]

Home base candles are excellent. I like their cinnamon and orange,sandlewood and vanilla ones. They are around £4 for a huge jar and they last for ages.

Yankee Candle smells are lovely, but I always use the little wax tablets in an oil burner as they are always far stronger than a candle. Break them into quarters, so you can burn 1/4 at a time until it loses its scent, then use the next quarter. They cost about a pound each.
